Sir Cliff Richard, the 70-year-old Peter Pan of British pop music, is to launch an assault on the US market by recording an album in Memphis with soul music stars Percy Sledge and Candi Staton, and a concert in Las Vegas in December. But can he make it in America?
At the press conference held to announce the project, Sir Cliff complained that he had never made it in America, but said he thought it was "jolly well time" that he did.

He's had minor hits in the US but let's face it, why would they have been interested in Britain's answer to Elvis, when they had the real thing!
How will he go down in America. He has David Gest backing him and as it says in the article, him being a Christian won't hold him back either. Not that it did here, he's been a pop star for over 50 years!!
